The Kogi Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has opened two relief camps in Adankolo and Gadumo to cater for thousands of people displaced by flood in Lokoja.
A top official (name withheld) of the Agency disclosed this to Nationalwatch Tv, during a tour of the camps in Lokoja on Tuesday.
He said the two camps, St. Luke’s School Adankolo and Gadumo Primary School, had the capacity to contain over 5,000 families.
While describing the flood as an act of God Almighty, he urged the residents to accept it “as a pre-destined event that nobody has the power to prevent it or question why”.
He said SEMA will continue to focus on evacuation and provision of relief materials, saying that the state government has opened 42 IDP camps for over 250,000 residents.
Meanwhile, Lokoja Development Association (LDA), has appealed for urgent assistance from all across Nigeria in support of the flood victims.
The President of LDA, Alhaji Sulaiman Aliyu, said the victims were in dire need of support to cushion the effects of the traumatized situation.
